ALLURING GHOST LIGHTS AND THEIR SECRET
In the middle of a lake if there is a light visible to you in the distant and invites you… take this free advice.. visit these beautiful ghost lights and even take selfies.. sounds stupid? Read on to find what ghost lights really are..
The marshes in West Bengal is where you can observe these ghost lights called Aleya or jack-o-lantern. These are nothing but a flickering ball of light that emerge in the marshy regions of West Bengal and Bangladesh and have caused many deaths too. The fishermen community of the area have often spotted these and has led to deaths of many fishermen who followed it or were transfixed after seeing Aleya. They believe that these lights are the spirits of dead fishermen who lost their lives fishing in the marshes. These lights at times confuse the fishermen causing them to fall in the water and drown. But at times, these also help guide them and prevent them from getting into danger.
Aleya ghost lights are not a new phenomenon and have been spotted at various places around the world. These lights known by different names have been associated with the paranormal or spirits of people. Some trying to help others while others leading them to their death. Once you follow them these lights flicker and diminish in size and often disappear that cause people to panic and lose their way. Not just in marshes, people around the world have seen these ghost lights in graveyards, swamps and bog lands.
These spook lights in Bengal are a common sighting and local fishermen will tell you tales about them. Would you dare to follow one if you ever see a ghost light?
The Theory: Scientists suggest that these lights are essentially ionization of methane over the marshes that forms out of the decaying organic matter present in abundance in these bogs.(source: india.com)
People will try to scare us even for the most bizarre reasons. The logical side of this whole ghost lights sound convincing enough, thus goes the story of how a perfectly normal ecological phenomenon changes into a scary story.
People tend to cook up all these stories. Beauty is sometimes dangerous.. true that. But not everything beautiful is harmful. Just to scare us these locals make us to fear this kind of rare yet alluring natural phenomenon.

these lights are just natural phenomenon. i dont see any.reason why people should be afraid of them.
ReplyDeletealthough we may claim that these are natural, we have o also keep in mind why the people livng there see it as supernatural.
ReplyDeleteit is our nature to call unexplained phenomenons as works of an evil spirit or ghosts. this light is emerging due to the chemical remains in the lake. so do go and enjoy its beauty..:)
ReplyDeleteunusual occurences of these lights make us think that this is the job of a ghost.so its better to be careful with them.
